Designing a monument with context and care
Before you design a monument, research whose history or memory it represents, who the interpretation may affect and which voices you should consult. Record your sources carefully. Do not reduce a complex history to an unsupported inscription or symbol.
Consider the site, audience, materials, access, maintenance and responsible organisation as you design. Use a model to communicate form and scale, then ask the site manager and subject specialists to review your concept before fabrication.
The National Museums of Kenya’s heritage training provides local context, not approval for an individual monument. Explore KENCID’s Sculpture course for related learning.
